This is a senior hands-on internal IT role supporting approximately 120 users across Bristol and Dublin, most of whom are developers and highly technical staff. You will work as part of a small IT team responsible for local support, infrastructure operations, security remediation, monitoring and project delivery. The role is ideal for an experienced senior support engineer, infrastructure support engineer, systems engineer or 3rd line engineer who enjoys broad technical ownership and hands-on problem solving. You will act as a key senior technical person within the team. You will take ownership of complex support issues, support and administer local infrastructure, help improve patching and vulnerability remediation, contribute to infrastructure projects, and provide guidance to less senior team members where appropriate. This is not a narrowly defined project-only role. Because we are a small team, everyone gets involved where needed. While there is significant exposure to infrastructure and project work, you should also be comfortable helping with user-facing support and advanced desktop issues. What You'll Be Doing * Acting as a senior technical escalation point within the local IT team. * Taking ownership of complex 2nd and 3rd line support tickets. * Troubleshooting advanced Windows desktop, Linux and MacOS endpoint, server and infrastructure issues. * Supporting Windows 11 laptops, desktops and developer workstations. * Providing support for Linux and MacOS endpoints. * Supporting Windows Server environments, including Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, file services and Remote Desktop Services. * Assisting with local domain administration and Group Policy improvements. * Supporting VMware administration, including managing and building virtual machines and managing ESXi hosts. * Supporting migration to Proxmox hypervisor * Troubleshooting issues involving DNS, DHCP, VLANs, routing, switching, VPNs and firewalls. * Supporting a Juniper switching and Palo Alto firewall environment. * Working with global SIE teams where services are centrally managed. * Supporting vulnerability remediation and patching using tools such as KACE, Qualys and Domo. * Investigating patch failures and working with users to resolve remediation issues. * Supporting endpoint security processes involving tools such as CrowdStrike. * Monitoring systems and alerts using Zabbix. * Helping shape and improve IT alerting processes. * Supporting backup and recovery processes using Commvault. * Creating and maintaining documentation, troubleshooting guides and runbooks in Confluence. * Supporting infrastructure improvement projects. * Working alongside wider internal IT functions * Helping guide and support the Desktop Support Engineer where appropriate. * Helping reduce IT friction for a highly technical developer user base., Expected work pattern, 3 days per week in the Bristol office. 2 day flexible working from home depending on business requirements. There is no formal on-call rota for this role. Occasional evening or weekend maintenance may be required for planned work such as infrastructure changes, patching or upgrades. Time off in lieu is provided for approved out-of-hours work. Please note, Sony Interactive Entertainment conducts background checks at the offer stage for all new employees (which may include criminal background checks for some roles) and will need to process personal information to support these checks. ## Related Videos - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Generating code with Angular schematics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/129-generating-code-with-angular-schematics) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Why Your Best Mediors Never Become Seniors (And How to Fix It)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2108-why-your-best-mediors-never-become-seniors-and-how-to-fix-it) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Mastering Remote Work: Tips for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/558-mastering-remote-work-tips-for-developers) - [IT Salaries in UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/288-it-salaries-in-uk) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
